Holy Thursday

As followers of Jesus we imitate his actions in order to align our hearts with God’s. In serving others, through washing their feet for example, we begin to empty ourselves as Jesus did. We can begin to see that love is possible when we put aside our pride and ego. More

Jesus enters his passion in peace and we, humanity, receive him with acceptance and cries of “Hosanna” which later turn to betrayal and shouts of “crucify him.” Although we may start praising God it can quickly turn to attacking Christ with our evil deeds. Like the woman with the alabaster...

When our hour comes are we prepared to let go and produce fruit for God? Are we able to read the signs and know when we are called to be obedient in our journey to Calvary? Only by being attentive and making room for God can we receive God's law...

What loving God more than family really means?

"It's about a realization that I'm part of an enormous communion that's held by the divine"

Mark 6:52 Trusting That God Provides When faced with problems in lives how often do we turn to Jesus for our solutions?
1 John 4:8 Knowing God by Loving How aware are we that to know God is to express love to others?
